I have several long-time friends. I listened to them, cheered them on, helped them, stuck up for them, and tried to be a supportive and caring friend. My flaws: I don't spend that much time with them (a call/visit every few months with occasional emails and IM, although I'm there in a flash if they need me in a tight situation), I'm not good at criticizing them about their flaws...and I don't like them much.
I've never really liked people--felt this sense of real belonging to any person until recently. Yet I've tried my best to be a good friend to people I see around me and keep in touch with them, especially those who seem eager to be my friend or who seem lonely. They kept in touch with me and asked me out. Now that I'm shifting some attention away from my old friends, they're getting mad and accusing me of immaturity, leading them on, and having used them for selfish reasons. Have I? When is it considered using someone? I had lukewarm feelings, yes,but I never betrayed them
